Just great music.....

Classic slice of 80s reggae from Barrington Levy, featuring the immortal line "I'm broad .. broader than Broadway !"

A few weeks ago i was searching music on the net and to my surpise and delight i read that Lush were reforming and that Justin Welch (former Elastica drummer) was to play in the band (as Chris Acland died some years ago and this effectively ended the band at that point).

A collection of some of their previous work was to be released on record format on the 27th of Nov this year.

I pre ordered the record and have picked it up today. I got home and made a nice cuppa and with a big childish grin unrwapped and took the first record to play... the utter joy! I've been hoping they'd get together and make music again and it's a reality, brilliant!

Another 'wow' track - do I look after you lot, or what?

Good to see Bowie has a new album on the way in January 2016. Didn't bother with his last, a bit predictable for me and Bowie's at his best when he wrong foots you. The new album looks far more promising if the title track is representative. Anyway, here's an article about the album and better still a link to the title track/video. Weird, epic, simply Bowie.

I love that track. First time I've heard it and I was there for the full, nigh on, 10 minutes. Parts of it, the beginning, the drum loop, the "disjointed" instrumentation etc, reminded me of Scott Walker's last couple of albums. Bowie's kept it more melodic - or at least more melodic in places - whereas Walker almost seems to want to destroy the melody as a reaction to his 60s teenybopper persona. I guess they are both playing with songs in much the same way as Jazz performers do, but coming at them from a pop perspective.
I think one of these is needed: :ugeek: Pretentious? Moi?

Getting a bit giddy now. Bowie reinvents himself again, using jazz musicians, and it's released this Friday. I may camp outside HMV overnight.

Just to confirm, just in case anyone buys new music, the album's a belter.

Not only a belter, but his last. Really sad to lose an icon but great that he went out on a high. RIP

Lazarus incredibly sad now we know.

What can I say, a sad sad loss yesterday, but a legacy that will live on forever!

Couldn't resist a couple 'o' more classics!
